Is PlanOS a good HoneyBook alternative for event planners?

Yes. HoneyBook is a client-and-invoicing CRM that started with photographers. PlanOS is built for running the event itself — a day-of run of show, vendor coordination portals, event timelines, guest lists and seating — while still handling clients, contracts and invoices. If your work is the event, not just the booking, PlanOS fits how you actually work.

Switching questions

HoneyBook → PlanOS

Can I import my clients from HoneyBook?

Yes. Export your clients, events and contacts from HoneyBook as a CSV and import them into PlanOS; PDF contracts and vendor files upload directly. We'll migrate your first 20 clients for you, free, so your first week starts with your book already loaded.

Does PlanOS do contracts and invoices like HoneyBook?

Yes — quotes, e-signature contracts, invoices and online payments are all built in. The difference is everything around them: the run of show, vendor call sheets, timelines and seating that turn a signed contract into a flawless event day.

Is PlanOS cheaper than HoneyBook?

PlanOS is one flat rate with every tool included on every plan — no feature gating by tier. Solo is $49/mo for unlimited events. You pay for events and seats, never for features.

I do more than weddings — does PlanOS handle that?

Yes. PlanOS is built for professional event planners across weddings, corporate offsites, bar and bat mitzvahs, fundraisers and milestone events, with templates for each.
